We look at the division of 42950 by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 42950 can be divided by 17.

Moving on to step 1:
17 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 42 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 34 from 42 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 89 / 17

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 89 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 85 from 89 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 45 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 11.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 252.0
Subtracting 34 from 45 leaves us with 11.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 110 / 17

Moving on to step 5:
110 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2526.0
Deduct 102 from 110 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 6:
17 can be fit into 80 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2526.4
Subtract 68 from 80 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 120 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2526.47
Subtract 119 from 120 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
10 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2526.47
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
100 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2526.4705
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
150 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2526.47058
Deduct 136 from 150 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 140 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2526.470588
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 136 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 2526.470588 with a remainder of 4e-07.
